About me

Gender Male
Introduction Given up at birth (somewhat understandably) I was raised by wolves in a Welsh forest. I was soon taken in by a group of nomadic buddhist monks who preached the benefits of drinking your own urine. Finally settling down with a family of drug addicted TV executives my early to mid childhood was spent trawling the mean streets of Cardiff scrounging for food....The 'hood' as my friends called it was tough....trust me 50 Cent had it good....It was all Leeks, Welsh cakes and dinner ladies who could rip your arms off with a simple glance! Discovering that there was money to be made from reality TV shows my adopted parents and sister decided to experiment with this new TV format and moved to Australia. It was this ill-fated series (Survivor: Family) that spawned many tragic concepts in reality TV....and who would have thought it came out of Brisbane. So after years of gruelling eduMcation which frequently involved public floggings (and the not so public don't ask about Mr Buchanons Personal Development Camps). A few trips back to the UK, a few degrees, a few years in slave labour camps (as a Music Manager) and numerous 'Biatches' later (onto my 3rd now!)the story of my life was complete.
